This year's nominees for the Poker Hall of Fame have been announced, with the eight individuals now heading to the living members of the Hall for voting.

Each member can vote for up to four nominees, and anyone receiving votes from 22 or more members earns an automatic induction. This change, from a previous "winner-takes-all" format allowing for only one induction per year, was announced earlier this month.

Five of the eight nominees are first-time nominees, having met the minimum age requirement of 40. Eight-time WSOP bracelet winner Shaun Deeb headlines these players; he is joined by Jason Koon, Isaac Haxton, Chris Moorman, and Justin Bonomo.

Askeland Asks for It All

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Ole Askeland in the cutoff, and Michael Zulker had collected a pot of 700,000 when they went to the 939 flop. Zulker bet 250,000, which Askeland check-called.

Jennifer Harman jammed for 450,000 from the hijack, and David Peters reshoved for 750,000 from the cutoff. The rest of the table folded, and the cards were tabled.

Jennifer Harman: KQ All in
David Peters: AK

Harman was dominated by Peters' big slick, and the 7A3 flop was a disaster as Peters paired his ace.

The 8 turn and 3 river changed nothing, and Harman became the latest casualty of the tournament.
